*Audrey's POV*

I pulled into the emergency room parking lot and quickly got out of the car. Kane and I ran through the entrance doors and scanned the lobby for anyone who may have came with Zander. Not one soul. I walked over to the receptionist's desk and asked for any information.

"My son was brought in here. His name is Zander Williamson." I said.

She typed a few things on her keyboard and then looked to her screen. "Ah, yes. He's in the back now. When his doctor says you can go back I'll call you." She said.

"Thank you." I sighed and took a seat next to Kane. "Who could've done this to him, Kane? I mean I thought we took care of this? Why do they keep hurting him?"

"I don't know, Audrey. But I swear that if I ever see these people I will put them six feet under the ground!" Kane said through gritted teeth.

I placed my hand on my forehead and rubbed it. Why is this seriously happening to me? Like what the fuck? I stared straight at the wall and started to tear up. I closed my eyes and let the tears run down my cheeks. "I-I hate this."

Kane turned in his chair facing me and brought my face to meet his. He placed his lips on mine and pulled back smiling. "We'll get through this, I promise. Remember when he needed to get his heart stitches replaced? We got through that didn't we?"

I smiled at Kane and kissed him back. "I'm sorry all this happened. I didn't mean what I said the other night."

"You don't want to get divorced?"

"No, never. I love you too much." I smiled. Kane smiled back and pressed his lips to my forehead.

"You have no idea how happy I am that you changed your mind."

"Mr. and Mrs. Williamson?" A doctor called walking out with a clipboard in hand. Kane and I both stood up and prepared ourselves for what news the doctor was about to give.

"How's Zander?" I asked.

"He's in surgery right now. He had some internal bleeding and we're trying everything to repair it. There's alot of bruising and I hate to be the one to carry bad news, but when Zander comes out there's no saying when or if he'll wake up. I'm terriblely sorry." He said frowning.

"When can we see him?" Kane asked.

"When he's done one of the surgical members will come and take you to see him. Once again I'm very sorry Mr. and Mrs. Williamson." He frowned turning around and walked down the hallway.

I turned the Kane and tightly wrapped my arms around him. I buried my face into his chest and cried hardly. Kane rested his chin on top of my head and rubbed his hands up and down my back.

"Its going to be OK, Zander can beat this. The doctors are going to help him and Zander will be back to himself in no time. I promise." Kane kissed the top of my head and continued to hold me.

*2 Hours Later*

Kane and I were still in the lobby and waiting on any news that they had on Zander. Kane placed his hand on top of mine and rubbed his thumb over my knuckles. I looked up at him and smiled. He returned the favor and planted a kiss on my temple. I sighed and rested my head on his shoulder.

"Are you the family of Zander Williamson?" A young lady in blue scrubs asked walking up to us.

"Yes, we're his parents. Can we go and see him?" I asked standing up along with Kane.

"Of course. He's all done. Just follow me and I'll take you to him."

We followed her through a series of automatic doors and down several long hallways. We came up to doors with the words Intensive Care Unit written on them. I looked at Kane and gave him a small, weak smile. She opened the doors and led us past other patients laying in their beds. I couldn't help but feel lightheaded and dizzy as I walked past them as they groaned and cried out.

I gasped and put my hand over my mouth as I walked up to Zander's bed. His face was a lot more worse than it was the other night Carmen brought him here. He a fair sized breathing tube down his throat and there were numerous amounts of gauze on his head. I pulled up a chair next to his bed and brushed my finger along his hand.

Kane stood opposite side of me and rested his elbows on the bed's guard rails. He looked down at his son and wiped away any stray tears that fell down his face. I loosely wrapped my hand around Zander's and held onto it. I remember the day Zander was born and got to feel his skin on mine for the first time. Now if this doesn't work this could be the last time I ever see my son.

"I'm going out to the waiting room to make a few phone calls." Kane said standing up. I nodded my head and watched as he walked out the door. I stood from my chair and placed my face close enough to Zander's ear.

I smiled down at him and started to stroke back his hair. He resembled Kane a lot in his features, but when it came to personality and attitude that's where Zander resembled me.

"Hush little baby don't say a word; Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird. And if that mockingbird don't sing; Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring." I softly sang into Zander's ear as I stroked his hair.
